Tom Brady’s Rumored Romance Sparks Feud Between Victoria’s Secret Models

Tom Brady’s speculated relationship with Victoria’s Secret model Candice Swanepoel has reportedly caused tension with fellow model and longtime friend Joan Smalls. According to Page Six, the two models, inseparable for 15 years, have had a fallout over Swanepoel’s alleged involvement with Brady, whom Smalls was said to have dated intermittently for about a year.

Sources revealed that Smalls is reportedly asking their mutual friends to pick sides, leading to discord within the Victoria’s Secret community.

In social media comments that were later deleted, Smalls allegedly called Swanepoel a “backstabber” and accused her of violating “girl code.” She reportedly expressed her feelings, saying the actions were “unimaginable” and highlighted a lack of “humility and moral compass.”

A statement from Swanepoel’s representative to Page Six said, “Candice has always been exceptionally private about her personal life, with her focus remaining on raising her children. She and Joan share a longstanding history and a friendship that Candice will always respect.”

Representatives for Smalls, Swanepoel, and Brady did not respond to Fox News Digital’s requests for comments.

Tom Brady’s rumored romance with Swanepoel adds to his list of high-profile relationships since his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen. The couple finalized their divorce in October 2022 after 13 years, sharing two children.

Since then, Brady has been linked with various women, such as Russian model Irina Shayk. In 2023, he was seen in Los Angeles with Shayk, prompting romance rumors.

Other connections included “Modern Family” star Sofia Vergara in 2025 and social media personality Alix Earle. Reports suggested a “summer romance” with Vergara, while Earle was seen getting close to Brady at social events.

Brady has not publicly commented on his reported relationship with Swanepoel, who shares two sons with her former fiancé, Brazilian model Hermann Nicoli.

Despite the reported tension, Swanepoel and Smalls participated in the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
